Kyla Scanlon - Is the State of the Economy Really that Bad? | Prof G Conversations

[@MichaelLaFrance1]

I agree with Scott, Kyla should be a recurring contributor to the pod. She's both knowledgeable and adds a fresh perspective.

[@choiceschoices5910]

if the economy is up 12% but cost of living is up 15%, it is not a vibe-cession, it is people not affording to live... -___-" (Inflation just measures the currency, it doesn't cover all day to day expenses)

You touch on wealth disparity when she talks about types of assets. But one main reason for pessimism is the profound wealth disparities emerging in our society which have only been worsened by inflation. It is hard to feel good when real wages are stagnant, costs are going up and you dont own any assets.

[@grantheath7425]

Great guest Scott. I teach high school economics and think she is exemplary for them

[@nlabanok]

Kyla is fantastic. Knowledgeable, informed, balanced, data-based, and an excellent communicator. There is just a ton of misinformation and dumbfvckery out there now about the economy and she's doing a great job getting the word out about reality on the economy.

[@RajDeelish]

She's very good but not perfect at everything. For example, she praised the chip factories, but from a business standpoint, they are likely to lose money and produce poor product because we don't have the cheap labor, the skilled labor, the labor that can legally work long hours, or the labor that is wiling to stay in one job for a long time so they get better and better at their trade. These are all things you get with low cost Asian laborers.

[@nlabanok]

@@RajDeelish Not really true at all Raj. With the level of automation now required to run a modern fab, it's all skilled...and largely highly-skilled labor that determines success of a fab. Low cost, relatively lower skilled labor plays NO ROLE in an advanced fab. You need highly skilled labor to develop highly capable processes on the equipment in the fab and skilled labor to run and maintain the process and the equipment so that yields and uptime and flawless quality are consistently delivered. And, the most important element in running a profitable fab is to have sufficient sales to load that factory to extremely high utilization levels...very little room for downtime except to perform essential maintenance and periodically deploy bundles of continuous improvement projects. For at least the next 20 years, you're not gonna run a successful fab in Vietnam...or Thailand....or PRC...or Hyperabad or Delhi or Penang. More broadly though, the entire globe is currently short of highly skilled labor of the type required to develop and run a fab...if we build the critical facilities and create the opportunities, the skilled labor...and yes, a heavy proportion of that labor will be H1B immigrants originally from the areas you're advocating but who want to leverage their advanced degrees for a spot in the US...but that labor will find its way to these magnets AND we wean ourselves as a nation off this gargantuan national security risk of fabs being held hostage to the whims of totalitarian regimes. The bigger question potentially impeding success of these investments and again back to that principle that they will need to run at extremely high utilization to have positive economics is (1) will Intel be able to close the process technology gap vs TSMC and (2) will Intel or AMD be able to close the design gap vs Nvidia so these capital investments don't sit idle due to noncompetitive products. Nevertheless , it's a good, strategic move for the nation to have made. And Raj, this is something I know a thing or two about....I spent two decades working in the chip business and saw firsthand the extreme challenges deploying advanced and highly automated manufacturing into low cost geos... it's a lot more daunting than just sketching it up at a high level on a PowerPoint slide.

[@KK-pm7ud]

She has no credibility. Just gives opinion but has no real experience. Vibe session is a terrible term and has nothing behind it. Just a feeling that social media has latched on to and anointed a concept worthy of attention but it doesn't have any real support behind it. Even worse it suggests that economic data can be taken in its face without context.

[@soothingrelaxationandmedit68]

Of course the state of the economy is appalling, And let's not forget how the global economy plays into all of this. Economic instability, inflation, and market fluctuations can further complicate matters and add to people's financial worries.

[@V.stones]

Financial planning and retirement strategies are crucial, especially in today's economic climate. With global economic fluctuations and uncertainties, it's essential to have a solid plan in place to protect your financial future.

[@V.stones]

If the U.S. expects countries to want to use the dollar and the U.S. Treasury we should stop weaponizing the current financial system. This is not in America's interest to do this without due process.

it's a recession for people who don't have any assets, including stocks/houses.

[@craigmak]

This is exactly it. If you haven’t used any of your income to buy a house or grow a 401k then it’s been very rough. If you have a house & stocks then your worth has probably doubled since COVID. Pay has gone up some but not as much as the cost of living.

[@squirrel7890]

I would argue it's a recession for anyone not *selling* assets, especially if they're making less than $90K/yr. As Scott has maintained many times, unless you're in retirement, you actually want a down market (i.e., cheap assets).

[@craigmak]

@@squirrel7890 yeah, I’ll agree there & agree that when the market goes down it’s a good time to buy but most ppl get scared instead.

The stock market is only up because of NVDA, MSFT, etc. It's down otherwise. Also, unemployment is low but the quality of said employment for the bottom 50% has eroded. The disconnect is because the division is only growing. You either own tech stocks or you are getting left behind.

[@HKS-Digital]

I get that the numbers say unemployment is low, but if you actually dig into how those numbers are calculated then you realize that there is actually a disconnect between the numbers and the reality of unemployment. For eg. Just because someone is employed doesn't mean its in thier actual field of studies or expertise, same with part-time employment vs full-time employment, in the stats having 2 part-time jobs is seen as you are super successful vs the reality is the opposite, having 2 part-time jobs is usually worse both financially and family life wise than having 1 full-time job . Not to mention that if you have been searching for job for more than 6 months you get removed from that unemployment stat.

[@AlexDAmbrose]

It’s worse than that. They count people with 2 jobs as two people with a job. So if a bunch of people need a second job to survive- boom! Our employment numbers are through the roof!

[@HKS-Digital]

Regarding the vibecession, it's interesting to look at consumer sentiment polling data. People will answer that they believe the economy is in a bad position overall. However if you localize the question to how are you doing or how is your state doing you get very positive responses.

[@Adam-ey3ud]

Honestly I think the main factor as to why sentiment among the youth is so bad has less to do with absolute price levels than it has to do with the pressures of having to be remarkable to live a comfortable life. 18% does not surprise me at all. To add to it I also think the youth is realizing that deficits are adding to their misery and really nothing has been done to curb it.

I think there's the question that this interview has lacked: How about inequality? To just shrug off the negative sentiments as "people are just negatively biased" hints at what could be a major blindspot in the data.

[@HannesRadke]

​@@ThatonedudeCR12956 I must have missed it. Could you give me a timestamp? To me it would be the center of the question: "Why are ppl unhappy with the state of the economy, if they are objectively doing better on all macro metrics?" I would want them to discuss if there really could be a blind spot in the data and what could create such a blind spot or if it isn't. I just would wish for something more substantial here. I listened to the key parts again and the main thing they say is "social media creates negative bias, it's performative anxiety" at minute 8 and follwing. At minute 5ish they talk about the "stuck generation", "we need a reallocation of capital and new jobs to come out". Which kind of seems to point at something, but it's just awfully vague and it's only 15 seconds.

Scott, if we are to help young people financially, and I know you are committed to the cause, we need to build multifamily houses like the old 2 or 3 family houses, ubiquitous in New England, where the owners live on one floor, and maybe a family member like grandparents live on another floor, and the third floor is rented to non-family tenants. Single family homes built on 1 acre lots are a disgrace and a disaster: financially, socially, environmentally and in other ways. One acre zoning should be abolished nationwide. Once again, wealthy, entrenched people, “ I’ve got mine, FU!“ with their head up their arses who have screwed up housing in this country. Every pre-World War II town across the country offers clues about how to design and build cities and towns where people want to live. Most normal, socially well-adjusted people don’t want to live on suburban cul-de-sacs with 1 acre zoning. We need to build denser housing. New England cities and towns are filled with 2 & 3 family houses built around 1920. We need to build more housing like this and stop spreading soleless suburban housing on 1 acre lots, which destroy the countryside, gobbling up the landscape and which only the richest can afford. Only sociopaths want to live in 1 acre zoned communities. Everyone else wants to live in a place where they can walk to a coffee shop, allow their children to walk to school or ride their bikes to the store around the corner.
